Liana had indeed been the one to ask Angel to persuade Lord Rhein to alter the standard design of the crystal ball. At the time, Liana had thought that since Angel had become a member of the Research Institute, perhaps Lord Rhein would listen to him because of his status.
Now, from what Angel was saying, had he really persuaded Lord Rhein? Had they even already begun researching a new communicator?
Delight filled Liana's heart. "I see. Then Ku Doudou is in your hands. You must develop it properly. If you lack manpower, speak up at once. Even if you need official wizards, I'm sure some people wouldn't mind lending a hand."

Liana in particular had been thinking just a few days ago that when the witches attending the Tea Party saw everyone in Savage Cave, from top to bottom, using those outdated crystal balls, they might not say anything aloud, but they were surely laughing inwardly.
